Tim Southee will lead New Zealand in the upcoming three-match T20I series against Sri Lanka. Regular captain Kane Williamson and pacer Trent Boult have been rested for the series. However, Ross Taylor and Martin Guptill have been included in the squad to give a perfect blend of experience and youth. Ish Sodhi, Mitchell Santner and Todd Astle are also in the team to bolster the spin-bowling attack.
